You'll always find zingy hard cheeses of comte, pecorino or manchego on the menu, with creamier St Jude and pungent Stinking Bishop, along with salty and creamy blues, and soft rind cheeses to choose from. The meat and fish selection includes tasty duck rillettes, fiery nduja sausage and smoked Spanish anchovies, and vegans and veggies are well catered for with the artisan vegan mezze board from local chef Lior. If you're only popping in for a small glass or two, order some tasty bar snacks like the salted marcona almonds, habas picantes or gordal olives.
